Bike your way around the bends and hike high into wilderness wonderlands. Stroll through gardens and arboreta and indulge in the aroma of beautiful blooms. Get wet and wild on a kayaking trip along Twelve Mile Creek or enjoy the site of wildflowers in bloom along a hillside trail. See the world from a different point of view: on horseback.

And did we mention golf? Our mild climate makes the outdoors accessible year-round, so pack your clubs for a day (or two or 10) on the links. Once you've sampled the greens and fairways, you may not want to leave!

Wet a line for record fish. Spend the day on a boat. Kick back on a lazy day at the lake or get your thrills on a whitewater ride. With so much to offer the water lover, Pickens County will call you back for more.

Beautiful gardens, wonderful wildflowers, heirloom plants and historic sites all call out to the nature lover. If you're looking for something more active than a stroll under the trees, try our recreational facilities, hiking trails, fishing holes and bike paths.

Pickens County offers terrific recreational opportunities for a broad range of activities, from hiking, biking, fishing and water sports to fields and gyms for individual and team sports. And don't forget our great golf courses.
